Abstract

Background: 'Gut feelings' are frequently used by general practitioners in the clinical decision-making process, especially in situations of uncertainty. The Gut Feelings Questionnaire (GFQ) has been developed in the Netherlands and is now available in English, French, German, Polish, Spanish, and Catalan, enabling cross-border studies on the subject. However, a Turkish version of the GFQ is lacking.

Objectives: A Turkish version of the GFQ.

Methods: A linguistic validation procedure was conducted, which took place in six phases: forward translation (step 1), backward translation (step 2), first consensus (step 3), cultural validation (step 4), second consensus (step 5), and final version (step 6).

Results: The absence of literal equivalent of the term 'gut feelings' in Turkish was determined. The word 'intuition' was chosen as the Turkish literal equivalent of 'gut feelings'. There were also some challenges in finding the exact meanings of words and expressions in Turkish literature. However, we succeeded in finding adequate and responsible solutions. A Turkish version of the GFQ is available now.

Conclusion: With these validated GFQs, Turkish GPs can facilitate studies of the role of 'gut feelings' in clinical reasoning.

土耳其语直觉问卷的语言验证。

背景：全科医生在临床决策过程中经常使用“直觉”，尤其是在不确定的情况下。肠道感觉问卷（GFQ）已在荷兰开发，目前有英语、法语、德语、波兰语、西班牙语和加泰罗尼亚语版本，可以对该主题进行跨境研究。然而，缺乏土耳其版的GFQ。目的：GFQ的土耳其语版本。方法：进行语言验证程序，分为六个阶段：正向翻译（第1步）、反向翻译（第2步）、首次共识（第3步）、文化验证（第4步）、第二次共识（第5步）和最终版本（第6步）。“直觉”一词在土耳其语中意为“直觉”。在土耳其文学中寻找单词和表达的确切含义也存在一些挑战。然而，我们成功地找到了适当和负责任的解决办法。土耳其版本的GFQ现在可用。结论：有了这些经过验证的GFQ，土耳其全科医生可以促进“肠道感觉”在临床推理中的作用研究。
